Love your notes on the game above - it's been a process, and it's interesting to see everyone balance the mechanics and player experience you want with the skills and time you have. I agree with you: I'd love to see more of a story built from this. The marooned-with-a-machine story is fun to tell. Did you ever play \"I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream\"? It's totally worth chewing on if you haven't.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Poorwill","author_uid":"1045276","time":"2017-12-06T19:16:28Z","epoch":1512587788,"modified":1512587788,"text":"The art of the terminals and the core idea are really  nice. It already seems like a world you could kind of immerse yourself into. Although I felt the gameplay itself was a little too unresponsive and buggy still.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rakart","author_uid":1002838,"time":"2017-12-06T19:28:47Z","epoch":1512588527,"modified":1512588557,"text":"Is there a thing as too much ennemies ? Yes, yes there is.\n\nCool game, nice concept.\nI felt like I couldnt really kill ennemies, suddenly there was a lot of them but they was no information if I hit them or not...so somehow I became a citizen without killing anyone :D.\nThe game also stopped giving me information after 21 radiants, so I'm not sure if there was something after the 80 radiants.\n\nOverall, this was a really nice game ! Congratulations on the entry !","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"mao","author_uid":1002318,"time":"2017-12-15T06:06:11Z","epoch":1513317971,"modified":1513317971,"text":"It looks interesting, but MY GOSH that's a lot of enemies. The graphics look pretty good. As for story, I didn't get very far, but I think you should try to keep the terminal acting patriotic and benevolent (like at the start) and avoid making snarky comments about the character's shortcomings.\n\nFor a game where there's only one square obstacle, you could probably get away with having the enemies just go directly towards the player, and let collision logic handle the rest. On the other hand, if you varied the enemy AI a little (for instance, by having some try to flank the player rather than charge), then that would reduce number of enemies you'd need and make the game a lot more varied and fun.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld40\/58199-c3d269f134f95599c493185e3310f81b.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/seizethedia.itch.io\/radrock","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"36406","g_author":"1004139","g_event":"LD40","g_eventkey":"70","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"235428","g_title":"Radrock","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"6","g_site2_node_id":"58199","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"58199","n_urlkey":"235428","n_parent":"49883","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/radrock","n_slug":"radrock","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"4139","n_created":"1512139412","n_modified":"1512570572","n_version":"201610","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":58199,"parent":49883,"superparent":9,"author":4139,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-12-05T02:00:11Z","created":"2017-12-01T14:43:32Z","modified":"2017-12-06T14:29:32Z","version":201610,"slug":"radrock","name":"Radrock","body":"![LDJam40_2017-12-04_21-41-57.png](\/\/\/raw\/b20\/1\/z\/df0a.png)\n\nDO you have what it takes prospect?\n \nE to interact with anything, doors, rocks, \"the Terminal\"\n\nW,A,S,D to move\n\nleft click or spacebar to shoot\n\nHOLD left shift to lock movement for better shooting\n\nSo this time around I had a lot more story to tell than I had mechanics or gameplay.
